Hello house, please a friend and brother has his eyes on the W211, I know some of them have peculiar issues, was wondering which of them would suit him (he is coming from a jap).
Your suggestions and reasons are needed please.
Your friend must have good reasons why he wants a Benz.
Don't discourage him because of the negative comments by some trolls here.
They don't own any model of Mercedes Benz...so they have no ground to give any advice whatever.
He must have good reasons why he wants to dump the shitty jap for a real car......don't let anyone stand on his way to becoming a true car owner.

Tell your friend to pick any Benz of his choice and stand out from the crowd.

PDP would've handled this situation better.
APC is just a curse to Nigerians for their foolishness since 2015.

What they are doing now is to go about rural areas collect names and phone numbers of elderly people with a promise that the Govt will give them money.
They will publish these names and phone numbers as beneficiaries of the billions of dollars they are currently looting, when 1 kobo was never given to the elderly people, they lie and deceive them.
This is wickedness..

I have always been seeing pictures of Volkswagen Passat 2006 model’s for sale at ridiculous price....what’s the problem of those vehicles and why are they always for sell at a ridiculous price..any answer please
Have you not also been seeing 2008 Toyota Camry for sale at very low prices?
Nothing is wrong with the car just that it's no longer "reigning" in Nigeria.
You know Nigerians have a bandwagon mentality.

Thank God for social media.
This nonsense has been going on for ages.
We have foreign people working and making money here without been treated as dogs, I see no reason Nigerians can not be accorded same respect abroad.
There are bad people everywhere, some of the Chinese people here involve in illegal activities too...so there's no justification for what they are doing to our peoples over there.
The only difference is that we are cursed with bad leadership.

Thanks a lot..the vehicle is in Lagos. But, I'm presently in Ibadan. I'd contact you as soon as the inter state lock down is over. Once again, thank you.
Sorry about this.
It's a case of fraud...they do that sometimes.
A vehicle certified as Run n drive shouldn't have the problem u experience.
Dont be in a hurry to change the engine or transmission.
Let another mechanic look at the vehicle as someone already suggested.

Great post , I must say! What is your take on automatic or manual compressors if you want to change ! I am a bit confused here...some guy said that the manual compressors are good because my car is a V6 (320) but what's your take but it seems that the car came with automatic compressor!

Your advise would be appreciated sir
It's always good to have the automatic compressor.
Just like many things in life it has its ups n downs.
The pros:
The automatic compressor cools better than the manual.
You dont need to introduce sensors,hangers or pay extra labour for electrician.
The cons:
You can't repair; once it gets faulty you will have to replace.
It doesn't tolerate any form of abuse....low quality gas can make it to park up.
It has a mind of it's own....it can decide when to engage or not grin grin grin

The manual on the other hand is more rugged...it can tolerate any form of abuse...it will engage even without gas in the system. shocked

You can disassemble it,repair or change faulty parts inside.
The manual is cheaper.
Cons.
You will need to introduce sensors,switches e.t.c
You will pay extra for electrician.
You will have to bypass ECU to get it to work.


There you have it....the choice is now yours to make.

Good luck.

Hello house
I need assistance on how to go about these cause I'm just trying to b careful.
I bought a C240 2005 and is showing service A exceeded by 330 days even though the service has been carried out I don't know how to reset the message.its also showing SRS restraints system malfunction drive to a workshop and the ABS indication is always on when driving even though the car brake is working fine.

Pls any body with such experience should guide me on how to go about clearing all those indications.
The car is moving fine.
I assume you just bought the car as tokunbo.
Like we have people here who don't care much about maintenance that's how they have them abroad too.
The previous owner of your vehicle falls in this category.

I don't see much issues with Ur car if you are ready to do the right things.
You should start with the ABS system cos it's more important..... check speed sensors (all 4)

For SRS you need to visit an experienced Benz mechanic to scan the vehicle.
If u can't find a good Benz mechanic in Ondo you can drive to Lagos to get someone.
The service A warning is not a problem, you just need to reset it ...

Go to a Mercedes Benz mechanic not an auto shop.
Ask drivers who own the same vehicle to direct you.

Your car in it's current state is not safe.
Avoid high speeds,
Avoid James bonding,
Don't race anyone,
Finally,don't get involved in any type of accident grin grin grin
#staysafe
Good luck.

Good morning to all the benz expert in the house.
Please I need help and advice from the experience users and experts here concerning my C240 2003/2004 model.
The cooling fan is always running on high speed and making a loud sound whenever I on AC. If AC is off it runs silent and normal but the moment I on AC the fan will start running at a higher speed and keep on like that continuously and you can pick up the sound of the fan from some meters away and even in the cabin as you drive. And the AC is working perfect and chilling but the sound is making me not enjoy my AC in peace��
I was told is a common problem with that model and year but no one seems to know the solution among those I have come across.
Please any suggestion on how to go about solving this issue is welcome. God bless you all. �
Your fan is not designed to run at full speed all the time.
The problem you are experiencing have nothing to do with engine temperature.
The problem is with your AC system and the culprit is the AC pressure switch....it's a sensor that measures the pressure and volume of Freon (gas) in the ur AC system.
If the gas is too low it will send signal to the ecu that all is not well and the ecu will run the fan at full blast.
When the AC pressure switch becomes faulty it will continuously send error signals to ECU....
Running your fan at full speed all the time will cause problems in the long run.

I suggest you first check the level of the AC gas before replacing the AC pressure switch.
The AC pressure switch is located under the condenser.

Good luck.
